It is much cheaper to replace the CV shaft. Purchase a Haynes manual that is specific to your car.
Lift the vehicle using a jack. Inspect the CV boot for problems. Mark the axle. Separate the CV from the shaft. Remove the CV boot clamps. Use a mallet to knock the CV joint off the shaft. Remove the boot from the CV axle shaft.
your cv boot has torn and needs replacement
The CV joint is the part inside the boot.
Keeps grease in, dirt and water out.
A CV boot is found on the axle of a vehicle. To replace the outer boot remove the axle bolt and pull the boot off. The inner boot requires removal of the whole axle.
I am not sure what the question is but basically, most cars have have two to four cv joints, one or two on each side of the car. The outer cv joint is located near the tire or hub, the other, also known as "the inner, which also has a boot is located near or in the transmission........hope this helped
A cracked boot itself won't cause a CV joint to make noise. However, a cracked boot WILL cause the grease to be slung out and allow dirt to enter the CV joint. And a contaminated CV joint that is starved for lubricant WILL eventually start to make noise.
They make replacements that are split in half, but they aren't generally recommended. What's best (unfortunately) is to remove the shaft and replace it with a stock cv boot. If the cv boot has been open to the elements for a while, damage in the cv joint might have occured.
The Most Common Problem When You Hear A Noise While Turning Is The CV Boot. Rubber Boot Will Tear And you Hear It On Every Turn.
Check the "boot" for cracks and see if there is any loss of grease. The boot is the rubber housing around the CV Joint. If the boot is damaged, grease has escaped and the CV Joint is making noise, the CV joint must be replaced.
The rubber boot that covers the CV joint is what tears. When the boot tears grease is expelled and water and dirt gets in.
